| Abstract | ObjectiveKashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic degenerative joint disease with a high disability rate. We retrospectively evaluated the 18-year clinical follow-up outcomes of adult patients with KBD who underwent arthroscopic debridement for knee osteoarthritis.MethodsThirty-one patients with KBD (31 knees) underwent arthroscopy for knee osteoarthritis. The visual analog scale (VAS) score, walking distance, knee mobility, and patients’ self-evaluated improvement in clinical symptoms were retrospectively evaluated before and 18 years after the operation.ResultsThe patients’ self-evaluated clinical symptoms showed considerable improvement at 2, 6, and 8 years after surgery but deteriorated at 10 and 18 years after surgery. Knee mobility was greater after than before arthroscopy but decreased from 6 to 18 years postoperatively. The VAS score for knee pain was high before the operation, decreased at 2 years postoperatively, increased at 6 years postoperatively, and was significantly lower at 18 years postoperatively than before surgery. The walking distance was significantly longer at 2, 6, and 8 years postoperatively than preoperatively.ConclusionsArthroscopic treatment may be an effective therapy for adult patients with KBD who develop knee osteoarthritis. In this study, arthroscopy had a long-term effect on patients with KBD who had Kellgren–Lawrence grade |
